Context: former President Barack Obama has an annual tradition of releasing lists (typically in late December) of his favorite books, songs, & movies from the year.
This market resolves YES for any movie that appears on Obama's favorite movies list for 2025.
Examples from previous years:
Any movie included on the list counts, even if they are separated into different categories.
This resolves based on the original list that he posts, allowing up to 2 hours for corrections.
E.g., one time Obama added "The Color Purple" to his list the next day. I don't intend to count these later updates.

Obama went pure chalk this year—9 of the top ~12 most likely best picture nominees (marty supreme, frankenstein, & wicked 2 are the only likely ones he skipped), plus two random surprise picks at the end. Pretty lame tbh! maybe he was busy and mostly watched awards screeners this year.
